TRANSLATIONS OF MY POSTCARDS

the peacock means order the fighting kangaroos mean madness the oasis means I have struck water

positioning of the stamp — the despot’s head horizontal, or ‘mounted policemen’,
mean political danger

the false date means I am not where I should be

when I speak of the weather I mean business

a blank postcard says I am in the wilderness
